Entor by Kic Barroc

Entor is the second album by Andorran jazz pianist and composer Kic Barroc, an evocative musical journey born from mountain air and creative insight. Recorded in Barcelona between March and April 2025, this collection of eight original compositions reflects a deep dialogue between landscape and sound — inspired by the rugged peaks, serene lakes, and wide-open spaces of the Pirinéan mountains that have shaped Barroc’s musical world.

Far from being a simple set of tracks, Entor is a cohesive work that balances lyrical introspection with jazz’s inherent conversational energy. The album marries the heritage of modern jazz with contemporary harmonic and rhythmic sensibilities, presenting an organic fusion of structure and improvisation. Barroc describes his creative process as starting from melodies that come unexpectedly — “without warning” — which he then shapes into fully realized compositions with thoughtful harmony, form, and orchestration.

Throughout the album, listeners will experience a sense of calm and serenity — much like the landscapes that inspired it — with moments of rhythmic drive and expressive interplay. Barroc surrounds himself with creative partners: contributions from saxophonists Baptiste Herbin and Irene Reig, trombonist Alba Pujals, bassist Brady Lynch and drummer Kike Pérez add depth and texture to each piece, enhancing the album’s dynamic range and emotional resonance.

Entor was released at the end of February 2026 and featured as part of the inauguration program for the newly renovated Auditori Nacional d’Andorra, where Barroc performed selections live for the first time. At once intimate and expansive, this is an album for listening deeply — a sonic exploration of nature, emotion, and creative maturity
